Mailboxes at the Children's Inn stuffed with Thoughtful Treasures for young residents undergoing treatment.

ZGF Architects, the architect of record for the Clinical Center’s (CC) surgery, radiology and laboratory medicine (SRLM) wing, recently delivered gift bags to the Children’s Inn at NIH as part of the nonprofit’s annual “Thoughtful Treasures” initiative.

Every child, teen, young adult and their sibling(s) who are staying at the Inn are assigned their own mailboxes. Every morning, they receive a treasure donated by members of the community who want to make a difference in a child’s day. 

Every bag included a mini-house kit along with magic markers and stickers for decorating the house. ZGF staff custom-made the kits using a laser cutter in the firm’s model shop. The kits can be assembled without glue or fasteners, then decorated using the stickers and markers provided.

Each year around the holidays, ZGF organizes a week of activities to support several local charities. They refer to this endeavor as the “Week of Good.” This year, the Inn was one of the recipients.
